Supplementary notes

'Tourism day visits' are defined as day visits not taken on a regular basis and located out of the participant's 'usual environment'. This distinguishes them from leisure day visits which include any excursions away from home including at least one leisure activity.

¹ Note that figures for 2011 to 2015 were reweighted for comparability purposes due to a change in the source's methodology in 2016. This statistic shows the reweighted values.

² Figures for 2020 were not recorded as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Following the easing of restrictions in early 2021, the survey continued from April onward. A new methodology was employed, which saw the Great Britain Day Visitor Survey combined with the Great Britain Tourism Survey, as well as a new weighting system that reduced the number of weighted cells from 1,408 to 616. As a result, figures for 2021 and 2022 are classified as experimental statistics rather than official statistics and are not entirely comparable to pre-2020 data. Further information on the GBDVS methodology can be found here. Figures from before 2021 were taken from earlier publications.
